They have one which I recently bought! Lemongrass and Clary Sage. The lemongrass is the citrus element. It is much better than that larger company's version. I bought the 10 oz. size because I wasn't sure if I'd like it and now I wish I had gotten a larger jar because it's awesome. The color is just brilliant too!
Thanks very much, Teresa. I think this board is a great idea and wonderful place to get feedback about the market for new scents, and, of course, the more different people who participate on the board, the more reliable the input. It's also great to use tealights as a way to try new scents--and as I mentioned in another post, I'm excited about using tealights in candlesticks all over the house in pegged votive cups or peglites. The other thing that will be interesting for you to watch is geographic preferences for scents. I'm assuming that your largest market is in NY where your business is based. But as your online business grows, you may see regional preferences develop. That said, you can almost certainly count on your own scent market tracking with whatever the national candle companies are offering, and you can be pretty certain they're not offering anything if it's not selling. On the other hand, you could hit on something new that catches someone's fancy, and that person tells a friend who tells a friend...and pretty soon it's featured as one of Oprah's Favorite Things. (sorry to ramble on and on...once a marketer, always a marketer, I guess) But in any case, as long as you don't mind, I'm going to keep posting ideas for things that I'm interested in, and leave it to you to decide whether or not to it makes sense (or scents or cents) to implement.
I love those suggestions. Do you think there is a big enough market for those types of scents? I will work on a few and give out some sample tealights to our customers and see if there is a demand for them. Those scents sound wonderful!!! Do you have any other scent wishes?
You have been such a blessing - your comments and ideas are fantastic! :)
Has anyone else reading burned any scents like the ones Lizy mentioned?
How about collection of candles with fragrances from the Southwest, such as cedar, sage, juniper, and pinon pine? I took a trip to Taos, NM a few years ago, and everyone wanted me to bring them back incense of those fragrances; Pure Integrity candles would be so much nicer to have in the house than smokey incense.
